T-Bone Accident Statistics

T-bone accidents happen when a car is hit on the side by the front or rear of another motor vehicle. As a broadside collision, these accidents often cause severe injuries for each car involved.

“T bone” style car accidents are often brought on by the at-fault driver’s failure to yield or provide access to other vehicles. Those T-bone accidents that take place in an intersection or at a four-way stop are often triggered by the at-fault driver’s failure to obey traffic signals, stop signs, or other traffic signals.

Either driver can be at fault in a T-bone accident. More than one motorist can be at fault for a T-bone crash too.

Crash research and analysis of accident data have shown that T-bone accidents represent 13 percent of all automobile accidents in the United States. Furthermore, 18 percent of all deadly vehicle accidents (in which several individuals are killed) are T-bone style accidents.

According to the National Transportation Highway Safety Administration, about 8,000 people are killed annually in the United States in T-bone collisions.
